8188. 'And I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen' means that they are about to see the accomplishment of the dispersing of falsity and reasonings by the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'being glorified in Pharaoh and his army' as the submerging into hell of those ruled by falsity arising from evil, and their engulfment by falsities as by waters, accomplished simply by the presence of the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with above in 8137; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those steeped in falsities arising from evil; from the meaning of 'his army' as falsities; from the meaning of 'his chariots' as teachings that uphold falsity, and from the meaning of 'his horsemen' as false reasonings, dealt with above in 8146, 8148.
